Cohen - Flip on What ?

Here’s the problem with this report: we have no idea what Cohen knows or doesn’t know about the president. And just because Cohen has dirt on Trump doesn’t mean that dirt is criminal. The going theory suggests that Cohen channeled money from Trump to Stormy Daniels to shut her up about a 2006 one-night stand — but it’s not clear that’s criminal in any case. Even the campaign finance violation talked about wouldn’t seem to be a major problem, given the John Edwards failed prosecution on similar grounds.

So, what does Cohen have? The media are assuming he has a lot. But that could be wishful thinking. Here’s Stephanopoulos again:

Two sources who are familiar with a warrant in the case told ABC News in April that federal agents were hunting for records tied to Cohen’s personal business dealings and secret deals with alleged mistresses, media organizations and the 2016 presidential campaign.

We’re tempted to suggest a conspiracy here — but it’s just liberals agreeing yet again that conservatives have hidden, evil motives, because modern liberals simply can’t conceive of any other reason to disagree with the liberal consensus.

“Moral precepts are constant through the ages and not obedient to circumstances.”

Fishing for the big one using Cohen as bait.
It's Muellers only ploy. It's all he's got.
What an a-hole.

Um...using smaller bait to catch bigger fish is the MO of every fisherman everywhere.

It happens to be the MO of every prosecutor in every democratic county. (This is to distinguish from the prosecutors in the country of our incompetent President's newest bestest buddy from North Korea!)

I’m an avid fisherman and the only advice I’d give Mueller is if you keep fishing in the same spot for over a year and only catch a few carp it’s time to move on......

Good advice, but remember he and 16 other attorney's are getting a check every two weeks for fishing in that same spot.
And the Democrats don't mind paying for nothing as long as it keeps the story in the news.
The American taxpayer is paying for the democrat BS.
